Martin Luther King said, "There is no greater danger in this world than sincere ignorance and earnest stupidity." The most terrible thing is not the evil of the human heart, but that they do not know they are doing evil.
At the beginning, the two shots of Barbie doll have a feeling of setting the tone. Isn't the woman in the mine the Barbie doll, with the hair combed hard and the clothes torn off. Of course, the motif was the deer corpse in the car outside the gas station. Later, the bar full of deer head specimens where the lawyer and his good friend were talking also directly addressed the topic. The sheep are safe together, so only as a collective group Resistance works. Therefore, when the female protagonists betray their relatives and leave, it is a more terrible thing than sexual assault. Everyone knows right and wrong, but they are content with the status quo because they don't want to cause trouble, while the victims tolerate it again and again. I think the adaptation is very good. The real incident is a collective complaint of fifteen people in solidarity. The protagonist is very well designed and looks outstanding. The father who also works in the mine, the single mother who experienced domestic violence, and the most crucial sixteen She was sexually assaulted and pregnant at the age of three. The conflict with her father was the most touching. At the beginning, the most distressing thing was that Qiao was raped by her family, but her father thought she had "fucked up with another man again". In the end, the union came to the podium and said, "There is only one person here who does not make me feel ashamed, and that is my daughter." The court knew that it was the teacher who raped her daughter, and rushed to beat the rapist, really.
I like that the movie is intertwined with the court and memories from the very beginning, especially the part of recalling the rape. The audience saw the scene of being raped before, and then there was silence in the court. Everyone seemed to have seen that painful experience with our own eyes, of course, including Cold-blooded opposite female lawyer.
The part of questioning Bobby is very emotional, why don't you help him, of course, it is not clear whether the reality court also allows this and uses the metaphor of ice hockey for interrogation. The combination of ice hockey is also good, although the analogy I just said is a bit blunt.
She was only pregnant with a child during the mother's part, and she didn't rob the bank. Women have really suffered too much discrimination. The saddest thing is that most women themselves regard these discriminations as their own faults.
How to get people who are silent because of fear stand up and wake up people who are pretending to be asleep, I think that is the theme of this movie. Sometimes I even feel that the biggest resistance is not the men who bully women, but the women who are bullied together. They don't want to speak up and don't want others to come forward, because that messes up their lives. So at the end when most people are willing to stand up, any hardships that have gone through before, this moment seems to be worth it.
There are still many people who think that rape is only considered sexual assault. I really hope that men and women can be educated about science and stop being the perpetrators and victims of sexual assault.
